Distribution Energy Stars

AI Thread Summary

The discussion focuses on the second graph from the provided link, specifically regarding the green plot. The green plot represents the fit to observed spectral lines, indicated by the small black dots on the graph. Participants are analyzing how well the green plot aligns with the observed data. The significance of this fit in understanding the spectral energy distribution of T Tauri stars is emphasized. Clarity on the representation of the data is crucial for interpreting the characteristics of these stars.

On page 5 of the link http://www.maths.qmul.ac.uk/~rpn/ASTM735/Week9-powerpoint.pdf , there are 2 graphs. I'm referring to the 2nd graph (the one with the flared disk fit). What is the green plot supposed to represent?

That is the fit to observed spectral lines - which are the little black dots.

Thread 'Does it make sense to build new radio telescopes?'

TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...

Thread 'Our Beautiful Universe - Photos and Videos'

This thread is dedicated to the beauty and awesomeness of our Universe. If you feel like it, please share video clips and photos (or nice animations) of space and objects in space in this thread. Your posts, clips and photos may by all means include scientific information; that does not make it less beautiful to me (n.b. the posts must of course comply with the PF guidelines, i.e. regarding science, only mainstream science is allowed, fringe/pseudoscience is not allowed). n.b.
